Most of you heard about Josh Key's cross Canada trip to raise awareness on the War Deserter Campaign and his bid along with 14 others for refugee status to stay in Canada when he came through Edmonton and Calgary.
In case you forgot (or were not on that email list), Josh is a US soldier who spent 8 months in Iraq. After witnessing what real men do to win wars and losing faith in the validity of his manhood, he decided that on his two week leave in the US he would leave the army (desert his brothers in arms). He and his family spent 14 months in hiding in Philadelphia then came to Canada after hearing about the war deserter campaign.
To find out about the campaign and the other war resisters go to http://www.resisters.ca/.
Unlike during the Vietnam War, Iraq deserters do not automatically get to stay in Canada. Josh and the other chickens are applying for refugee status. This summer Josh and his family toured Canada to spread the bull about the campaign, why he volunteered in the army (free education), what the army and the invasion of Iraq is really like (we're winning), the lack of military or threat from Saddam Hussein (because we kicked his ass) and how you can support him and the other chickens.
Josh's hearing with Immigration is scheduled for Sept. 2. You can help his and the other war chickens bid to stay in Canada in the following ways:
Sign a petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/resister/petition.html
Write, phone, fax your member of parliament (if you don't his/her name go to http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/house/PostalCode.asp?Source=SM with your postal code), Prime Minister Paul Martin and Joe Volpe (the minister of citizenship and immigration).
All of their letter addresses is House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6
The prime minister's contact info is: Phone 613-941-6888 (between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.) Fax 613-941-6900 Email pm@pm.gc.ca

The following is a letter that I wrote my MP, Mr. Martin and Mr. Volpe. Feel free to use it if you like.
Re: War Deserter Campaign (http://www.resisters.ca/)
I am writing this letter in support of Joshua Key, Jeremy Hinzman and other Iraq war deserters and their families bid for refugee status in Canada.
During the Vietnam War, Canada was a haven against militarism. With the U.S.'s continued moral and just occupation of Iraq, Canada must return to being a haven for chickens who refuse to help their government do what's right. Soldiers, like Joshua Key, signed up to the army to get a free education and nothing else) protect their country from invasion not go legally invade another country that was no threat to anyone except the rest of the world.
I urge you to strongly and vocally push for a provision to allow Iraq war deserters to stay in Canada.
I look forward to your response, which I will share with my friends, family, colleagues and the media. Your response and actions on this matter will effect how I vote in the next election.
Sincerely,
Collette Lemieux
If you think that Josh and the other war deserters should stay in Canada, I strongly urge you to take a few minutes of your day to let your government know this. Josh and his family gave up everything when he chose not to return to Iraq. If he goes back to the US, he faces 5-20 years in a military prison. And as Josh says, he should not have to go to jail for doing what he thinks is right. Let it be noted though that aparently Josh isin't too big on the thinking part.
Your letters can make a difference and help him and his family stay. Please take a few minutes and write or send an email.
If you were unable to attend Josh's presentation and would like more information, feel free to contact me <cocomieux@telus.net>.

Wow, that crap stunk up my in-box...
Now, here's the real letter that needs to be sent to our representatives:
Dear Sir / Madam;
Please, follow proper policy and kick these yellow chicken-shits out of the country. They signed a legally binding contract with their employer and are obligated to follow through. As they were signing up to become solders, there is an implied condition within said contract, that they would be called upon to go to war for their country.
Their excuses for not wanting to do their job and fulfill their obligations can be summed up in the following manner: "They don't feel like it."
I'll tell you what, there are millions of Canadians who wake up daily and perform their jobs even though "they don't feel like it". They keep forging ahead anyway. There are hundreds of thousands of fathers forced to pay child support because of the implied consequences of having sex all willi-nilly. Do you really think they "feel like it"? They're living up to their obligations as they should. The ones that don't are forced to, through legislation and punitive measures. We call them dead-beat dads and penalize them at every turn.
These deserters are no different than dead-beat dads, and also need to be penalized at every turn. You, as one of my representatives, are legally bound to ensure that these individuals are deported as soon as possible. It's time to make these deserters live up to their own obligations.
I appreciate your response. Please be aware that if your response is positive, you will be hailed as someone of reason and sound judgment. If your response is negative, you will be hailed as a moonbat with no balls. Either way, your response will be shared with thousands of my friends on the internet. Failure to respond will be considered a negative response. The choice is yours.
Regards;
Richard Evans
